Hey, just wanted to tell you that I ran 8.4 miles outside yesterday. We had gotten an ice storm the day before, but it had warmed up since then so I thought that it wouldn't be too icy. Unfortunately, it still was. I fell around mile 1.5, but luckily I didn't hurt myself too much! I got a little bruise on my knee and that's about it. Hope all is well.
Great job! Keep it going, Krista. I haven't ran very much lately. My hamstring has been bothering me. I plan on running long soon if my hamstring feels ok.
I started to casually run 5k's, 10k's, and half marathon's in the late 90's. My first real triathlon was the Pigman Half Ironman in 2004. Since then I have slowly but consistently improved my fitness while competing in a variety of multisport races each year. However, I have always shied away from the full Ironman. Until 2009 that is. I am creating this blog to chronicle my quest to become an Ironman on September 13th, 2009 in Madison, Wisconsin. On that day, the first and main goal will be to finish. But to me, I hope it is much more than that. This is a way for me to get to know myself better. It is a way to test my limits and see where they might be. I believe that life truly is a game of inches. The inches I need to get better and become an Ironman are all around me. My Ironman prep is in everything I eat, the way I think, the way I train, and the way I influence others. Striving and fighting for those inches is truly living. What am I going to do? Come back here to find out. My blog is a place where I will chronicle my training and give my personal opinions on health and fitness.
